SNAT is still probably best for you. Comcast's IP addresses rarely
change unless you reboot, so a simple script to set the SNAT line with
your current IP address is going to work just fine. I have my firewall
using SNAT on comcast and haven't had problems in years, other than
Comcast deciding that I don't really need to go to Google.
